Now back in the studio after his U.S. Winter 2019 tour in support of his album One Bad M.F. Live, Friedman has recently been exploring the combination of IK's AXE I/O premium audio interface for recording and re-amplification, and IK's acclaimed AmpliTube amp and effects modelling software. He notes, "Between AmpliTube and the AXE I/O, I get unlimited combinations of real amp sounds; even at home. It's re-amping gone mad. And for someone like me who doesn't like to spend a lot of time turning knobs to get great tone, it's perfect."
Friedman was best known for his performances as a member of the iconic heavy-metal band Megadeth, and as a member of the band Cacophony, before breaking out on his own as a solo artist. During his career, he's earned 27 gold and platinum records, headlined the famed "Rock in Rio" fest in Brazil, appeared on countless TV performances, and played sold-out stadium tours in Europe. He currently tours and makes appearances across his second home, Japan.
